EXHIBIT A The following Aesthetic Standards shall apply to all wireless facilities in the public rights- of-way: GENERAL 1. Visually Compatible. Small cell wireless facilities shall be compatible with the support structure and minimize visual impacts on the surrounding structures and uses. 2. Design Preferences. The City Engineer shall review small cell wireless facility applications and take into account design preferences and feasibility. The following preferences are ordered from most preferred to least preferred: a. Stealth facility incorporated into a replaced street light or utility pole that does not extend above the height of the pole. b. Single facility on existing street light, utility pole, or traffic signal. c. Collocation of multiple facilities on an existing street light, utility pole, or traffic signal. d. Collocation of multiple facilities on a newly -installed support structure. e. New facility on either an existing or new pedestrian -scale light. f. New standalone support structure used solely for wireless communication. This design, if permitted, is recommended only in industrial districts. 3. Undergrounding Districts and Areas of Undergrounded Utilities. Small cell wireless facilities are prohibited on utility poles if within an "underground area" or identified sites where utility pole undergrounding has occurred or is likely to occur. These areas may include Priority Development Areas and Specific Plan areas. Unless a waiver is granted, wireless facilities in these areas shall only be allowed on an existing or replacement street light and traffic signal infrastructure, and shall be limited to pole -topped and pole -concealed designs. 4. Maximum Height. The maximum height of the small cell wireless installation shall not exceed any additional height above the minimum spacing requirements mandated for wireless facilities by California Public Utility Commission standards. Maximum height shall be measured from grade to top of pole or support structure. Accessory equipment and associated lighting shall be included in calculation. 5. Color. If wireless facility or ancillary equipment are non -concealed, then equipment shall be painted a similar color to the structure that it is attached to and have a non - glossy finish. FACILITY -SPECIFIC STANDARDS 6. Street Light -Mounted Facilities. Antennas and accessory equipment shall not extend more than 5 ft. or 10 percent above the height of the street light, whichever ATN/RESO.0009/CC RESO ESTABLISHING AESTHETIC STANDARDS FOR WIRELESS RESO.
